    This is not true, It is an indicator, standards may well be lowered and the Conservative governement has consistently been proven to lie. you are just making statements and assumptions and accusing us of all being stupid when you don't know any of us.

    Surely the government would have agreed to guarantee the standards if they had any intention of maintaining tham because they Promised us they would? The possibility of standards being compromised is now very real and a distinct possibility.

    I and a majority of people do not believe the governement are in the slightest bit commited to maintaining high food standards, despite what they have said , and with very good reason, they are proven habitual liars. The bill could have protected us all from the possibility of lowering...

    The average US Man/Woman is almost exactly 1st ( 14lb or 6.35kg) heavier than the average Brit. 11-12 for women. 13-14 for men. average heights are very close to being the same we're not exactly an Island of racing snakes on the Lad-arse scale of fatulence. :rolleyes:

    we grow a lot of fruit and veg, we make no effort to be organic per se, but are very mindful of unncessary chemical usage. the key for us is good soil (naturally) and nurture, both of which takes time. Time costs. Any livestock animal, grown naturally, will cost 2 or 3 times as much as your...

    But deep frying is better for the environment, you can re use the oil, unlike water, which escapes into the sky or gets poured down the drain after boiling.

    Don't forget that lots of veggie products are as heavily processed as happy shopper hot dogs and equally loaded with fat salt and sugar :wink:

    It does look like the US scores highly due to its size, and therefore self sufficiency. . . There is no denying typical US farming methods operate of a far bigger scale where quantity and profit are priority, as opposed to the EU stance of protecting low volume local specialities and delicacies...

    Doesn't say anything much about welfare, quality and safety process. Does one assume Italy or Portugal doesn't rank or produce any food? maybe someones wife likes being spanked. :rolleyes: https://www.savills.com/impacts/natural-forces/new-zealand-tops-savills-food-security-index.html
